Welcome to the web site of Ron Morin.

Born in 1944, while his father was in the Navy, Ron spent the first four years of his life in Worcester, Massachusetts with his mother and her parents. The grandparents were from French-speaking Canada, and Ron's first language was French.

In 1949, Ron was flunked out of kindergarten in public school because his English was non-existent. He transferred to a bi-lingual French-Canadian grammar school where the first half of the day was in French-Canadian and the second half in French-Canadian English. He stayed for eight years and excelled.

After high school, he enrolled in college, but was asked to leave after one semester for drunkenness and fighting. He became a landscaper for two years, saved his money, and moved to Europe for nine months. Upon his return, he drove to Mexico with a friend, whom he saved from rape and murder. Back home, his father, who owned a funeral home, offered to pay for his education at embalming school in Boston. Ron made his living picking up dead bodies, but only completed a year of mortuary science, to his father's chagrin.

Several odd jobs and years later, Ron enrolled at the University of Massachusetts at Boston, as a French major. He took his junior year in Paris, at the Sorbonne. While in college, Ron made his living as a cab driver and night attendant at McLean Hospital. Upon graduation, he began teaching at a prep school in Boston, where for two years, he taught French (a language he knew), Spanish (a language he didn't know), and English (a language he was getting better at). Not of the temperament to be a prep school teacher, Ron moved on, to a special needs classroom in a locked facility for disturbed youth, age 6 to 15. Ron found his legs in this environment and eventually became a master teacher for the Lesley Schools for Children in Cambridge. However, after two years of satisfying teaching, the lust to write claimed him, and he returned to Paris, to spend nine months writing.

Several consulting jobs and a Masters Degree ensued. One day he became executive director of a social services agency in Gloucester, Massachusetts, where he remained for twelve years and garnered many awards, none of which is relevant to his third re-incarnation as playwright.

After merging the agency with two hospitals, Ron left to pursue writing full-time. The Chimney is his first play and Madee is his second.
